e0“The costs and benefits of introducing best practices in the nursery sector and for society at large were explored in relation to avoiding potential impacts of introductions of new pathogens in the wider woodland environment. The analysis formed part of a wider project on the drivers of introduction and spread of Phytophthora species and opportunities for mitigation by plant nurseries. The effect in reducing the risk of introductions of new pathogens is not easily quantified, but the shorter the interval between avoided outbreaks, the greater the benefit of introducing best practices”

- Association For Phytophthora alone, nursery benefits were unlikely to exceed costs.
- Observation A modeled Phytophthora outbreak affecting oak would cost about £500 million.
- Observation A modeled Phytophthora outbreak affecting Sitka spruce would cost £11 300 million.
- Recommendation The authors recommend social incentives or nursery controls to lower forest disease risk.
